Overview
Diameter support in Cipango is designed to offer a servlet-like programming model.
Configuration
Adding diameter support
Diameter support is optional and should be activated first. To start Cipango with diameter, add the diameter.xml to the command runline. For instance:
java -jar start.jar --ini=start-cipango.ini etc/diameter.xml
API
Javadoc
Javadoc is available at http://www.cipango.org/javadoc/diameter-2.0/.
DiameterListener
To use diameter, a class implementing the DiameterListener
must be declared within the application. This is similar to the TimerListener
used for the SIP Servlet TimerService.This interface is then invoked when diameter messages are received.
The DiameterListener
is defined as follows:
package org.cipango.diameter.api; public interface DiameterListener extends EventListener { /** * The <code>handle</code> method is invoked by the container when a Diameter message should be * passed to the application. */ void handle(DiameterServletMessage message) throws IOException; }
The DiameterFactory
The DiameterFactory
class is used to create instances of DiameterServletRequest
.
Cipango makes an instance of org.cipango.diameter.api.DiameterFactory
available to servlets via the servlet context attribute of the same name, org.cipango.diameter.api.DiameterFactory
.
Usage
The following code sample illustrates how to create an UDR
request:
DiameterFactory factory = (DiameterFactory) getServletContext().getAttribute(DiameterFactory.class.getName()); DiameterRequest request = factory.createRequest(Sh.SH_APPLICATION_ID, Sh.UDR,"home1.net","hss1.home1.net"); AVP<AVPList> userIdentity = factory.createAVPList(Sh.USER_IDENTITY); userIdentity.addValue(Cx.PUBLIC_IDENTITY,"sip:alice@atlanta.com"); request.addAVP(userIdentity); request.add(Sh.DATA_REFERENCE, Sh.DataReference.IMSUserState); request.send();
Logging
Diameter messages are logged in the file ${jetty.home}/logs/yyyy_mm_dd.diameter.log
(replace yyyy_mm_dd by the current date).
